Unitarian Universalist Community Church

Our church complex is comprised of three buildings (and a garage for storage) These are located on the corner of Winthrop and Summer Streets:

The Church Building (69 Winthrop Street) is the successor of an historic Universalist church. The latest renovation was done during the Summer of 2008.  The building includes:

• The Sanctuary (available for church events and rental)
• Fellowship Hall and Kitchen (available for church events and rental)
• Nursery
• Meeting rooms: Robbins Room (Summer St. entrance) and Committee Room (Winthrop St. entrance).  (available for church events and rental)

The Building at 71 Winthrop Street was purchased in 2008 and renovated, primarily by volunteers from the church community. The building is houses:

• Church Office
• Office for Minister
• Religious Exploration Office and Meeting
• Room (2^nd floor)
• Religious Exploration space (2^nd floor)

(This building is not rented.)

The Building at 6 Summer Street was the Winthrop Street Parsonage and has been known as The Annex. Major restoration was done during the summer of 2011, through the work of the Buildings and Grounds Committee and volunteers. It  is houses:

• Religious Exploration Space (both floors) (available for church events and rental)
• Meeting Room: Olsen Room (1^st floor back) (available for church events and rental)
• History Room: (1^st floor)
• Small Kitchen (1^st floor)

Use of Space

Much of the space is used by multiple groups and is used increasingly, both within the congregation and with the larger community. The Church Administrator oversees the building use by church groups and outside renters. It is critical that we keep the Administrator updated regarding your requests and changes, as your plans may affect the plans of others.

Building and Grounds Stewardship

Since 2008 members and friends of UUCC have dedicated an enormous amount of time renovating and restoring the building and grounds.  Each project was a commitment to building and strengthening community.  Each project was a dedication to creating sacred space that was bright, beautiful and well maintained.  As each space was completed the congregation reentered their spiritual home with increased devotion to their liberal religious faith community. 

Ongoing contributions to the general maintenance and upkeep of our building and grounds comes from the church friends and members.  All are invited to join us as we gather together to:

Participating in Work Days. These are planned times for community work on the grounds.  They occur in the Fall and Spring and for specific needs. These are announced in the Newsletter, including how to sign up to participate.

Practicing Stewardship by space leaving it as we found it, usable for others. It is exciting that our facility is being use so much!
